Lonely Planet review

Housed in the former hospital of the Bethlehemites (the only religious order to be established in the Americas), this sprawling 18th-century structure has since 2006 been the unlikely home of a museum devoted to economics. A slew of hands-on exhibits are aimed at breaking down economic concepts and demonstrating how every Mexican affects and is affected by these principles. Visitors can start a corporation, chart their investments or design their own currency.

For coin connoisseurs, the highlight is the Banco de México's numismatic collection. Unfortunately, only a few of the exhibits provide English text.
